Unlocking the Opportunity of Nature
With the right policy levers, investments in nature can attract billions in private capital while recognizing that Canada’s working landscapes - our forests, farmlands and waters - have unrealized value to support a resilient and sovereign Canadian economy. To unlock the true value of nature, policies must:
-
Recognize
the value of essential ecosystem benefits such as clean air and water, climate regulation and fire resilience.
-
Increase
the authority and capacity of Indigenous Peoples to steward their land and waters for effective and sustainable long-term management.
-
De-risk
investments and accelerates capital flows that benefit land stewards, businesses, communities and the environment.
-
Advance
high-integrity credit markets to ensure growth is measurable, credible and built to last.
